On 5 November 2025, a founding member of John Toohey Chambers, Michael Rynne was appointed Senior Counsel. Mr Rynne’s appointment demonstrates the strength of these Chambers members commitment to the Family Law jurisdiction. In a jurisdiction where Counsel are required to deal with the emergence of societal trends pointing to a rebalancing of personal interactions between those in relationships and their children , the challenges confronting legal representatives of those in distress highlight the need for effective advocacy.

 Our Chambers also acknowledges the ongoing commitment of the Judicial officers of the Family Court of Western Australia in its service of the interests of the community and the importance of the relationship between Bar and Bench in facilitating the administration of Justice.
